Christmas Wishlist

Every year at Christmas we always get stuck when asked what we would like as a gift (which undoubtedly happens every year) and every year our minds draw a complete blank despite the fact we have been mentally putting a list together since January so we end up with the useless answer of 'I don't know' or 'Oh, I don't mind' which of course isn't helpful at all and usually results in us having to do that awkward 'pretending to be happy' face (which we all know about) when we open gifts that maybe aren't quite what we would have hoped for, and before you say anything we've all done it so don't lie! So this year we decided to put our minds together and come up with our Christmas wishlist which includes all of the things we have been wanting lately and some things that we've had our eyes on for a while but have never been able to purchase. We hope this may help you with some ideas of what you might like for Christmas and also give you inspiration for what to buy for your family or friends. So here it is! Our Christmas Wishlist:

1. Marc Jacobs Watch 

We've had our eyes on these watches for the longest time and we absolutely love the gold colour and detail of the etched logo top ring! These watches are just absolutely gorgeous and a must have for our Christmas wishlist!

2. White Windsor Smiths

These shoes are perfect for every occasion and look amazing with any outfit, they have the added height (which we both definitely need) with the casual sandal style and are so comfortable! They are so hard to find in New Zealand and when you can find them they are slightly out of our 'student' budget so we really hope santa is nice and gives one of us a pair of these lovely shoes. 

3. 'Dot' or 'Daisy' by Marc Jacobs

We definitely have a bit of an obsession when it comes to perfumes and we seem to fall in love with all of the Marc Jacobs scents! At the moment our favourites are 'Dot' and 'Daisy' which both smell amazing! Whenever we're at the perfume store we're constantly using the sample bottles (oops!) and we're never disappointed with these scents. They last long and stay smelling amazing all throughout the day and we would love to own our own bottles! 

4. Kate Spade Handbags and Purses

There is nothing better than having that one handbag that you can reach for at anytime and have it go with whatever you're wearing whilst also being big enough to fit everything you need inside it, right? And well, we won't deny it, the designer label makes it just that little bit more exciting! Oh and the purses, we could go on for hours about how perfect they are but we won't bore you so instead we'll just say if we ever had enough money to buy a purse or handbag from Kate Spade we'd be running to the mall or going straight to the internet to order one right away but for now they're staying right here on our wish list waiting patiently.

5. M.A.C Lipstick

This wouldn't be a complete Christmas wishlist without at least one make-up product and there's nothing more appropriate for Christmas then a bold red lip which in our minds leads straight to M.A.C. You simply can't go wrong when it comes to lipstick at M.A.C but at the top of our list we have 2 shades. Firstly, Russian Red, a classic and perfect for everyone and secondly, Lady Danger, a slightly more coral shade but as Christmas is in summer here in New Zealand why not go a bit lighter? We all have those days where all we need to complete our look of the day is that perfect red pout so really what better Christmas gift could you ask for!

6. 'It' by Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung is definitely a huge fashion inspiration for us and we admire her carefree attitude to life! She is definitely one of our big girl crushes at the moment and we've heard amazing things about her new book titled 'It' and we would love to read it ourselves to see just how amazing it is! The book is part memoir, part scrapbook and part style guide. We cannot wait to have the book in our hands and will probably not put it down until we've finished the whole thing!

7. Essie Nail Polish

We are both lovers of nail polish and rarely go a few days without having a colour on our nails and anyone who has a love of nail polish knows about Essie polishes and how amazing they are so it's easy to see why we'd want to get our hands on them! Although they may seem like a small thing, here in NZ they can be quite pricey so why not ask for them for Christmas?

8. A Mini Cooper

This is by far the most expensive thing on our list but it something that we have both had our eyes for a long time. Having both got our drivers licenses this year it's not surprising we would love to have a car and in our minds nothing beats a Mini, they're just so cute! Obviously this isn't something we are expecting to get as it is way out of our price range but we thought it at least deserved a mention on our list!

9. Money!

We've found as we get older our Christmas wishlist shrinks and we end up with only a few things left that we'd like to have and when you have multiple members of family wanting to get gifts what better way to avoid the bad gifts that will end up at the back of a draw then to simply ask for money! We are definitely not the first people to do this but this way we have an excuse to go shopping and get things we will actually make use of, which is really what we all want for Christmas!

That's it for our list this year! We hope this gave you some inspiration of what to say when you get asked what you would like, which lets face it, will happen, or even what to get for your friends and family if you were completely stuck for ideas. But remember, if you do get that bad gift from a great Aunt that you haven't seen in years it's the thought that counts! 

Merry Christmas lovelies! 

We love you!

Megan and Gabby
